Exposing Dr. John R. Rice's Hypocrisy On The Holy Bible

Psalms 12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”

What did God promise to keep and to preserve in Psalm 12:7? Psalm 12:6 tells us, “The Words of the Lord.” But not just mere words, “pure words.” That is, inspired Words!

Sword of the Lord founder in 1934, Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980), foolishly believed that the original manuscripts of the Bible were inspired and inerrant, but he did not hold to the position that the King James Version was the only inspired translation. Dr. Rice foolishly acknowledged the accuracy of other modern translations, including the corrupt American Standard Version, and foolishly emphasized that no single translation is the sole Word of God.

I have a booklet in front of me written by Dr. Rice in 1943 title, “Verbal Inspiration Of The Bible.” The booklet contains 28 pages, in which he defends the inspiration of God's Word, but Dr. Rice hypocritically never mentions that he doesn't think the King James Bible is God's perfect, preserved and inspired Word for English speaking people today. That is deceitful, giving the reader the false impression that he believes we have an inspired prefect Bible today, when in reality he doesn't.

On page 28, Dr. Rice ends his booklet by writing:

Let us reverently acknowledge that the Bible is the perfect Word of God, infallible in science or history as well as religion, and that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable" (II Timothy 3:16).

SOURCE: Dr. Rice R. Rice, p. 28, “Verbal Inspiration Of The Bible”; Sword of the Lord, 1943

What hypocrisy! Dr. Rice dares to use the word perfect, while endorsing dozens of corrupt modern Bible revisions. In particular, in 1943 Dr. Rice preferred the American Standard Version (ASV). Let's examine some of Satan's corruptions in the ASV...

King James Bible (KJB) - 1st John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”

American Standard Version (ASV) - 1st John 5:7, “And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.”

Shame! The translators of the ASV have removed the Godhead (Trinity).

King James Bible (KJB) - 1st Timothy 3:16b, “God was manifest in the flesh...”

American Standard Version (ASV) - 1st Timothy 3:16b, “He who was manifested in the flesh...”

Why did they deceitfully remove the proper noun of “God” and replace it with the pronoun “He”? To say that “God was manifest in the flesh” is clear attestation to the biblical fact that Jesus is almighty God. God almighty became incarnate in the man, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3, 14). Jesus was God on earth (John 10:33). You will sadly find that ALL of the Devil's modern Bible perversions relentlessly attack the deity of Jesus Christ and the Godhead.

King James Bible (KJB) - Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

American Standard Version (ASV) - Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.”

They removed the Godhead! The word “divinity” doesn't convey the same theological significance as “godhead” does. Not even close! The word “godhead” clearly implies the triune nature of God, not His mere divinity. Words are very important and Satan's knows it, as evidenced by the serpent changing the words which God had spoken to Adam and Eve.

In the following passage, the ASV is utterly confusing...

King James Bible (KJB) - Philippians 2:6, “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.”

American Standard Version (ASV) - Philippians 2:6, “who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped.”

In John 1:3, the ASV wickedly changes “All things were made by him” in the King James Bible, to “All things were made through him.” Again, this is a ruthless attack on Jesus' deity as the almighty Creator who made all things. God the Father didn't create all things through Jesus; but rather, the Godhead created all things, and Jesus is almighty God. Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Colossians 1:16-17, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” If we are to take the Bible at face value, which we should, then we can only logically conclude that the Godhead didn't create all things through Jesus; but rather, Jesus created all things in the power of the Godhead of which He is a member.

Satan is a clever and beautiful liar! The Devil has carried out a generational plot beginning with the perverse Greek text published in 1881 by Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort, to undermine and change the truth of God's Word into a lie (Romans 1:25). The Devil has subtly removed the ancient landmark to deceive his victims. Proverbs 22:28, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” The Devil knows that if he can progressively change God's Word from one generation to the next, in time there won't be an inspired Holy Bible. Tragically, as of 2022 the New International Version (NIV) is still the number one selling Bible.

Westcott and Hort were unsaved Anglican infidels! (a shocking audio Bible study by Pastor Max D. Younce in which he exposes Westcott and Hort as two heretics).

Sadly, in his 1975 book “I Am A Fundamentalist,” John R. Rice actually defends Westcott and Hort and portrays them as sincere godly men. Unbelievable! I can only give Dr. Rice the benefit of the doubt that he didn't have access to the incredible amount of knowledge we have today on the internet, which didn't become public until the 1990's (the military was already using a form of internet in the 1960's). Dr. Rice went to Heaven in 1980.

Brother Rice wrote over 200 books and pamphlets throughout his lifetime. By God's grace, he led numerous citywide revivals and was greatly used by the Lord to win lost souls. I am a John R. Rice fan and have many of his Bible commentaries, which I cherish. Brother Rice was 31 years older than Pastor Jack Hyles, and one of his three mentors. Dr. Hyles' other two mentors were Pastor Lester Roloff (1914-1982) and Pastor Lee Roberson (1909-2007). I THANK GOD for all these dear soulwinning men of the faith, who all preached a free grace Gospel.

That being said, it bothers me immensely to read Dr. Rice's book, “Verbal Inspiration Of The Bible,” knowing that he denied the infallibility and inspiration of the King James Bible. As Dr. Rice's successor Pastor Curtis Hutson (1923-1995) rightly said, “Things That Are Different Are Not The Same.” The Lord promised in our text passage from Psalms 12:6-7 to keep and to preserve His PURE WORDS. Nearly every modern Bible revision wickedly changes this passage to say that God keeps and preserves THE SAINTS instead of His PURE WORDS. 

The reason why Satan's Bible publishing crowd CHANGED this passage couldn't be more obvious; they did it in a wicked attempt to justify tampering with God's inspired Words. If there can be only one pure inspired Holy Bible in any particular language, then there cannot exist umpteen different Bible revisions. According to the American Bible Society, there are presently 900 Bibles in part or whole. That is shamefully ridiculous but sadly true!

It saddens me that as great a Bible scholar as Dr. John R. Rice was, he woefully missed the mark in this important matter. It is my humble opinion, that if Dr. Rice had lived longer, so that he could have seen the atrocity of the New International Version (NIV) which was published in 1984, and the other modern atrocious Bible perversions which have followed in this Bible publishing crazy generation—Dr. Rice would have rejected them all and sided with King James Bible ONLYism. 

Pastor M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965) said it very well...

“Be on guard against any tampering with the Word, whether disguised as a search for truth, or a scholarly attempt at apparently hidden meanings; and beware of the confusion created by the senseless rash of new versions, translations, editions, and improvements upon the tried and tested Bible of our fathers and grandfathers.”

“The true Church preaches REGENERATION; not reformation, not education, not legislation, but regeneration.”

SOURCE: Dr. M.R. DeHaan, 'THE TABERNACLE,' p. 101

Jesus quoted Moses' words from Deuteronomy 8:3 in Matthew 4:4, “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” If we are to live by EVERY WORD OF GOD, then we absolutely must have an EVERY WORD BIBLE! That is, the hundreds of modern Bible revisions available for sale on the market cannot all be God's inspired Word, because they all contradict each other. If you don't believe me, or think I've bumped my head, look at this horrifying reality...

This Is The Ungodly Nonsense That Dr. John R. Rice Sanctioned

In recent years. Dr. Rice's adult daughters have shamefully slandered Pastor Shelton Smith, longtime editor of the Sword of the Lord, wrongfully accusing him of running the Sword of the Lord into the ground by making it King James Bible ONLY! I'm fairly confident that the Board of Directors unanimously made the decision. I thank and praise God for Dr. Smith's wise decision. I have been critical against the Sword of the Lord in recent years for selling advertisements for Pensacola Christian College, who today preach hard core Lordship Salvation. I kindly contacted the Sword of the Lord in 2023, to earnestly warn them about PCC's counterfeit gospel, but the Sword of the Lord didn't reply to me. Shame on them all!

RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!

Dr. Rice was WRONG about the modern Bible revisions. They are in fact, very dangerous theologically! Only the trustworthy inspired and infallible King James Bible faithfully uplifts the precious name of Jesus as almighty God!!! All of the modern perversions attack Jesus' deity in one way or another; usually in many ways. Why would anyone endorse such a blasphemous thing? If you didn't listen to Pastor Younce's Bible study exposing Westcott and Hort, please do so dear reader, because you will be absolutely shocked when you learn the ugly truth about the fathers of today's corrupt Bible versions. A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit.

I implore you dear friend to RUN from the Devil's modern Bible revisions, and please use only the inspired King James Bible from 1611. You'll have to study it more to understand it, but you'll be reading THE TRUTH. And don't let any naysayer discourage you by pointing out typographical errors in some of the King James Bible editions. The 1611 translation is Kosher! Just because some editions have typos in them doesn't mean the translation is bad.

So, please keep in mind that although there have been various subsequent editions to the King James Bible over the centuries (to correct typos and update the archaic Elizabethan English language), there hasn't been a new translation since 1611. The so-called New King James Version is contaminated with the poisonous text of infidels' Westcott and Hort, so please burn it in your firepit. Psalms 119:139-141, “My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.” Do you really think the psalmist (whom I am convinced is David) would love today's 31 different flavors of the Holy Bible. I humbly think not!

As much as I respect Brother Rice, I must humbly disagree and expose his foolish teaching that we don't have one perfect, inspired, infallible, incorruptible, Holy Bible in the English language. Our great God is NOT the author of confusion, Satan is (1st Corinthians 14:33). 

Don't you dare try to convince me of the insanity which says we should search through the literally HUNDREDS of modern English Bible revisions, to pick and choose what WE THINK is the truth. Don't you dare try to convince me of the insanity which says we should just select the Bible version which best suits our needs and style. As an example: Here is an ungodly wicked web page which suggests that you choose a Bible version that is “right for you.” Dear reader, you DON'T get to pick which Bible vibes the best with your desperately wicked heart (Jeremiah 17:9). You don't get a menu from God! You get what you get, like it or lump it.

I still have tremendous respect and admiration for Dr. John R. Rice as a mentor in the Bible. His commentaries have helped me immensely over the years. For example: I learned from Dr. Rice years ago that Jesus was not giving the rich young ruler a plan of salvation in Matthew 16:19-22; Jesus was using the law the way God intended for it to be sued—to show humanity our hopeless sinful condition, and then bring us to Christ to be saved by God's grace through faith alone in Jesus Galatians 3:24-26; Romans 3:19-23). Yet, I hear countless incompetent preachers misapply this passage to mean salvation. Case in point is Dr. John Goetsch at West Coast Baptist Bible College in California, who preaches Satan's lie of Lordship Salvation.

Thank you for reading my ministry blog. God bless.

The Wickedness Of Using B.C.E. And C.E. Instead Of B.C. and A.D.

Romans 1:28-32, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

I have always hate the blasphemous term “Xmas” which hardened atheists, ingrates and cowards who want to be politically correct use to replace “Christ” is “Christmas.”

Likewise, I am angered and disgusted by wicked video producers, historians and countless other ingrates who choose to use the blasphemous terms “B.C.E.” (Before Common Era) and “C.E.” (Common Era) instead of “B.C.” (Before Christ) and “A.D.” (in the year of our Lord). Some people hate Jesus Christ so much that they try to erase Him from history.

On Reddit.com, I found this excellent explanation of why using B.C.E. and C.E. greatly offends some people, as it does me as a born again Christian who trusts and loves Jesus. ...

“Using BCE/CE can be seen as the deliberate, provocative rejection of tradition (both Christian tradition, and simply the tradition of using BC/AD); it can be seen as 'virtue signaling', deliberately highlighting that even dating systems are reflections of culture and power and serve to marginalize some people, rather than being neutral; it becomes a symbol for politically correct, decolonial, politicized history in general. And so even if you've adopted it because it seems to be common usage, there will be people who assume (or pretend to believe) that you've made a deliberate choice to be political and provocative, or that your thinking has been  contaminated by trendy ideas, or that you simply don't realize this is part of a plot to overthrow Western Civilization.” 

SOURCE: Thucydides Cats, https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/192a7ic/why_are_people_so_opposed_to_using_bcece/

There is an ongoing deliberate Satanic plot in this dark world of sin to overthrow Christianity.

It baffles my mind how anyone who lives in the United States—who enjoys freedom and U.S.D.A. government inspected safe meat to eat; who enjoys all manner of fresh produce and delicious safe foods to consume; who have restaurants galore to dine at with family; who enjoy some of the best healthcare in history; who have all manner of hobbies, sports and fun activities to enjoy, et cetera, et cetera—could be so ungrateful as to refuse to mention “Christ” in the word “Christmas,” or refuse to use the Christ honoring abbreviations of B.C. and A.D.

Dear reader, God our Creator deserves better than that! His only begotten Son, our Savior Jesus, deserves so much better than that! Isaiah 64:8, “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” Who are we as humans, just clumps of clay from the earth, to dishonor the Creator of the universe?

I've been watching astronomy videos on YouTube, which I enjoy falling asleep to at night. I cease to be amazed and astounded at God's omnipotence and omniscience as our brilliant and good Creator. Did you know that the earth is not a perfect circle? The earth is oval shaped. The earth's diameter at the equator is 7,926 miles, but only 7,900 miles from north pole to south pole. That is very interesting! In sharp contrast, the diameter of our sun is 864,600 miles across. Wow! The sun is 109 times wider than the earth!

To put this into perspective, if the earth were the size of a basketball, the sun would be over 100 feet in diameter. And if the sun were the size of a basketball, the earth would be the size of a sesame seed. I didn't believe that fact when I first heard it, so I got my calculator out. As I learned, a sesame seed has a long side (3-5 mm) and a short side (1-2 mm). So the average diameter of one sesame seed is approximately 3mm. If we multiply that number times 109 we get 327 mm. A meter is 39.37 inches, or 1,000 mm. So, 3 mm times 109 equals roughly 13 inches. A basketball is only 9.5 inches. So, yes, the earth is as a sesame seed (even a little smaller) in size, when compared to our magnificent sun which God created. Amazing!!! I'll bet you never look at our solar system's sun the same way again.

And as if that astronomy fact doesn't dazzle your mind, consider that the largest known star is UY Scuti, which has a radius about 1,700 times larger than that of the Sun. Wow! This means its volume could fit approximately 5 billion of our Suns inside it. Great fluffy biscuits! I cannot even wrap my feeble brain around that. Deuteronomy 3:24, “O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?” Do you understand dear reader, that the same God who created the universe LOVES YOU!

In fact, God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die in your place on a cruel cross, so that you could spent eternity with Him (John 3:16; 14:1-3). Yes, God wants to be with YOU dear friend for ever and ever, which is why He has made a way of escape through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:9-11, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.”

Considering the size of our sun, I have shared with you just a few of millions of absolutely mind blowing astronomy facts about our universe. Scientists now tell us that there are literally 20 trillion galaxies they've determined, each containing hundreds of billions of stars; each star a massive radiating nuclear furnace just like our own sun. Just in our Milky Way Galaxy there are an estimated 200 to 400 billion stars (suns) just like our own beautiful sun.

When you look into the evening sky in a remote rural area, and see several thousand shining stars, each and every one of them are nuclear furnaces just like our own sun. I cannot help but wonder if they all produce heat and light by using the same nuclear fusion that our own sun uses, constantly converting hydrogen into helium. The inside of our sun reaches shocking temperatures near 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot! And you thought 450 degrees Fahrenheit on your oven was hot.

I cannot help but cry when I learn all these astounding facts about our Creator, and realize that He loves even me. Am am so unworthy of God's love. Genesis 32:10, “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.” Who am I that a King should bleed and die for? Who are you dear reader? We are comprised of mere dirt from the earth, yet the object of our Creator's wondrous unfeigned love.

Dear reader, I encourage you to shun using the wicked abbreviations of “Xmas” and “B.C.E.” and “C.E.,” to show the respect and honor that our omnipotent good Creator is worthy of receiving from His creation. Revelation 4:11, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Ecclesiastes 12:13, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

WASHINGTON, January 29, 2025 (Reuters) - A batch of newly released images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope show in remarkable detail 19 spiral galaxies residing relatively near our Milky Way, offering new clues on star formation as well as galactic structure.

Clear Evidence That Erika Kirk Is Not A Born Again Christian

Titus 3:5-7, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

The following disturbing comments by Erika Kirk plainly show that she is NOT a born again Christian. ...

Charlie Kirk’s widow has said she wants to let the government decide whether her husband’s accused killer will receive the death penalty, and that she does not want his blood on her “ledger.”

Tyler Robinson was formally charged with aggravated murder last week after Kirk, 31, was assassinated on Sept. 10 on the college campus of Utah Valley University in Orem.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray announced the formal charges against 22-year-old Robinson at a press conference last Tuesday and said he would be seeking the death penalty in the case.

Erika Kirk, a devout evangelical Christian, said that she believed her husband’s death was part of “God’s plan.”

“I’ve had so many people ask, ‘Do you feel anger toward this man? Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?’” she told The New York Times.

Charlie Kirk’s widow has said she wants to let the government decide whether her husband’s accused killer will receive the death penalty.

Charlie Kirk’s widow has said she wants to let the government decide whether her husband’s accused killer will receive the death penalty (Instagram).

“I’ll be honest,” she continued. “I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this. I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger.”

The 36-year-old mother to Kirk’s two young children said she believes that if she did push for the death penalty, it could stop her from being with her late husband in heaven.

“Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like: ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’” she told the outlet. “And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?” [emphasis added]

SOURCE: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/erika-kirk-tyler-robinson-death-penalty-b2830893.html

That is so ridiculous what she said! The inspired Holy Bible teaches Capital Punishment (Genesis 9:5-6). Why in the world would God deny Erika entrance into Heaven for supporting Capital Punishment for an admitted cold-blooded murderer? She is very wrong in her thinking.

Ironically, it is her corrupt understanding of God's simple plan of salvation that will keep her out of Heaven. The fact that Erika thinks her behavior can keep her out of Heaven means that she is foolishly trusting in works to be saved. This is the errors of Roman Catholicism, which she was raised to believe. ...

“On a recent episode of his Podcast, Kirk, an evangelical Christian who recently spoke about the Blessed Mother, mentioned how he was close to Father Don Kline, pastor of St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, and how his wife was baptized Catholic.”

Shame on Charlie Kirk and Erika for their ecumenical ties with the whore of Rome! Kirk was clearly sucking-up and pandering to Catholics. Ecumenism is of the Devil (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17). God doesn't command born again saints to stick around and hobnob with members of false religions to convert them; the Lord commands us as believers to separate from them! Christian fundamentalists don't change, people quit being fundamentalists. Ecumenism is the agenda of the ecumenical movement to promote cooperation among different religious denominations; aimed at universal religious unity. Ecumenism is contrary to biblical teaching in 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17. We are commanded as Christians not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

And let me kindly say, that the young woman speaking with Charlie Kirk in this audio excerpt is NOT a true Christian. She is admittedly a Roman Catholic, but we know according to the inspired Word of God that Catholicism is a Satanic fraud. Official Catholic dogma teaches sacramental salvation. It couldn't be more obvious that Erika Kirk is a hellbound Catholic. Both Kirk and Erika have surreptitiously avoided criticizing the accursed Catholic cult (Galatians 1:6-9).

To Charlie's utter shame, this is what happens when you pander to the cults (Catholics are claiming Kirk was about to convert to their religion). In the preceding article that I link to, Kirk is literally saying that we “don't venerate Mary enough.” Venerate? Folks, this word means, “to worship”!!! Charlie says non-Catholics fail to worship Mary enough! Unbelievable! Clearly he was either a secret Catholic or wickedly coddled them for whatever reason. Let it be known that I don't worship Mary at all!

Nowhere in the inspired Word of God are we taught to serve, pray or even recognize Mary in an capacity. Ungodly hellbound Catholics worship Mary. They count Rosary beads while sinfully praying to Mary. Due to Charlie's sinful kissing up to Catholics, the heathen world doesn't see any difference between true Christianity and the demonic Catholic cult. NO ONE who follows the damnable false teachings of Roman Catholicism is a born again Christian!!!

One Baptist man tried to defend Charlie Kirk, telling me that Kirk was simply saying that Mary is the solution to the evils of feminism. I kindly rebuked him for being so willingly naïve. Kirk plainly said that Protestants and non-Catholics don't venerate Mary enough. How does worshipping Mary solve feminism? There is no way that Kirk's sinful comments can be dismissed; whether intentional or unintentional, he is clearly encouraging idolatry! Remember dear reader, Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again.

The True Biblical Gospel Versus Christian Service

Charlie's counterfeit plan of salvation that requires taking Jesus as your “Lord,” repenting of your sins, and giving your life to Christ are NOT the saving Gospel of free grace. The Gospel according to 1st Corinthians 15:16 is three things:

1. Jesus DIED on a cross to pay our debt of sin.
2. Jesus was BURIED.
3. Jesus RESURRECTED from the dead three days later.

Romans 1:16 teaches that THE GOSPEL is the power of God unto salvation to them that BELIEVE IT!

Repenting of your sins, giving your life to Christ, making Christ known, inviting Christ into your life and following Jesus as one's “Lord” is a counterfeit gospel. These unbiblical embellishments and additions to the Gospel are commonly called “Lordship Salvation.” Lordship Salvation is a false doctrine that mixes works with grace, confusing and blurring the lines between service versus salvation, between discipleship versus sonship, between sanctification versus justification. I love this quote! ...

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)

Another one of my favorite preachers, Pastor M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965) said it this way...

“There is a vast difference between coming to Jesus for salvation and coming after Jesus for service. Coming to Christ makes one a believer, while coming after Christ makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer one accepts the invitation of the Gospel, to be a disciple one obeys the challenge to a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ; discipleship comes only by sacrifice of self and surrender to His call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation can't be lost because it depends upon God's faithfulness, but discipleship can be lost because it depends upon our faithfulness.” [emphasis added] —Pastor M.R. DeHaan, Hebrews; Zondervan Publishing House, 1959 (p. 117)

Boy that is good stuff! Dear friend, if you are saved Jesus is your Lord. Receiving Him as “Lord” has nothing to do with getting saved; but rather, after you are saved the dear Savior wants you to pick up your cross and follow Him. This according to Romans 12:1-2 is the believer's “reasonable SERVICE.” Please don't miss that, in this particular passage of Scripture it is our SERVICE for Christ, not our SALVATION for Christ. In other words, this passage is about DISCIPLESHIP, not SONSHIP. Paul is speaking to believers here.

Anyone who comes to God as a needy sinner, who by faith (taking God at His written inspired Words in the Holy Bible) accepts Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried, but then miraculously resurrected physically from the dead after three days, is saved. Nothing more than childlike faith (trust, reliance) is required nor permitted to get to Heaven. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty.

Kindly said, Charlie and Erika Kirk fail to put a difference between service and salvation. They are promoting the Devil's falsehood of Lordship Salvation. By failing to separate works from grace they obscure the Gospel, hiding the light of the truth from lost sinners (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4; Galatians 5:4). The unsaved Catholic woman in this audio clip at a Turning Point meeting is exactly right that what Charlie preached is NOT the Gospel, nor is the Satanic Catholic dogma that she trusts in the Gospel. We are sadly seeing the blind leading the blind. Catholicism is NOT Christianity!!!

This is blatantly false teaching...

“The most important thing you can do in your life is give your life to Christ and make Christ known. The second most important thing is to make sure you can do the first thing.” —Charlie Kirk, University Of North Texas (2025)

No, Dear reader, Jesus gave His life for you; Christ doesn't demand that you give your life for Him to be saved; which is discipleship, not sonship. Charlie Kirk was a confused individual...

“We need Christ to come into our life. We need to repent. We need to get down on our hands and knees and say: 'Jesus, come into my life.'” —Charlie Kirk, University Of North Texas (2025)

That is simply NOT how a lost sinner gets forgiven. Jesus came into the life of Judas Iscariot, but he still died in his sins and went to Hell forever to burn. In Matthew 7:21-23, those unfortunate damned souls followed Jesus, calling Him “Lord, Lord.” They boasted of their “many wonderful works” all done in Jesus' precious name. They preached in Jesus' name. Yet, the dear Savior denied knowing them as His sheep. Jesus declared His Father's will in John 6:40, which is to believe on Jesus, plus nothing! With the Catholics and Charlie Kirk it's faith in Jesus, plus more. The most important thing in your life is not to “give your life to Christ,” it is to BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Please understand that I didn't write this article to cast a negative reflection upon the Kirk family; but rather, to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3b). What Charlie Kirk preached is NOT the Gospel. Many Christians assume that Charlie had to be saved, since he openly testified that he knew he was an undeserving guilty sinner and Jesus Christ died in his place on the cross; but Charlie made the fatal mistake of adding repenting of your sins and giving your life to Christ to get to Heaven (which additions can be heard in his numerous public comments).

So, what Charlie really trusted in was partial faith in Christ plus works. Remember, every pseudo-Christian religious cult agrees with Charlie's core belief in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. But they, like Charlie, pervert the Gospel by adding more to it, confusing service with salvation. This is the Devil's falsehood of Lordship Salvation, and it is deadly as seen in Matthew 7:21-23.

Here again is disturbing blatant proof that Erika Kirk is still indoctrinated with her Roman Catholic faith and is NOT a born again Christian...

The 36-year-old mother to Kirk’s two young children said she believes that if she did push for the death penalty, it could stop her from being with her late husband in heaven.

SOURCE: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/erika-kirk-tyler-robinson-death-penalty-b2830893.html

She is blatantly trusting in WORKS for salvation! If she thinks supporting the death penalty for her husband's murderer could prevent her from going to Heaven, then she is clearly trusting in her good behavior to get to Heaven, which is a false gospel. It just proves that she is still deceived by her damnable Roman Catholic upbringing, who openly require faith PLUS works to get to Heaven. I am humbly convinced that Erika is not saved. No one who is saved worries about missing Heaven because of bad behavior. By the way, capital punishment is 100% biblical. You can still forgive a criminal while they are being killed by a firing squad. Would to God that all 50 states would bring back the death penalty (Genesis 9:5-6).

The following excellent YouTube video exposes Charlie and Erika Kirk as ecumenical apostates...

The Gift Of Eternal Life Is Wrapped In The Wonderful Package Of Jesus

New Evangelicals And Fundamentalists Cannot Coexist

Proverbs 29:27, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.”

Something that I have learned the hard way over the decades is that New Evangelicals and Bible Fundamentalists do not get along and we never will. The inspired Holy Bible says that the wicked and righteous are an abomination (to intensely loathe) to one another. I made the following helpful chart which shews the progression (corruption) from Fundamentalism to Neo-Fundamentalist compromise to the hard core evils of Neo (or New) Evangelicalism. ...

It has become very difficult nowadays to find a truly fundamentalist church to attend anymore. By “fundamentalist” I simply means that they adhere to the core fundamentals of Christianity. They are a soulwinning church. They only preach a free grace Gospel; not the Lordship Salvation or “repent of your sins” damnable heresies to get to Heaven.

I am astonished that most clergy (pastors, missionaries, evangelists) today have a sinful lackidaical indifference toward the Devil's corrupt Bible revisions, and indifference toward the toxic damnable heresies of Lordship Salvation and Wrong Repentance. The Apostle Paul shared the same astonishment in Galatians 1:6-7, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.”

I also wrote this blog titled: 'The Deadly Deception  Of New Evangelical Churches.' There's not a more dangerous place today than a New Evangelical fake church. They're everywhere! Sadly, most former Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches have left the faith, succumbing to sinful New Fundamentalism compromise on a journey to wicked New Evangelicalism (apostasy). This is why every fundamentalist Christian believer must always be on guard. Revelation 3:2, “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.” Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

We are at spiritual war dear reader (Ephesians 6:12). Simply due to a lack of a good church to attend, I have attended a series of bad churches over the past 15 years. Of the several churches I have so far attended in the city of Pensacola, all but one were wrong on Bible repentance, perverting God's simple plan of salvation, just as the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses wickedly do. I'm not kidding folks. Here is a comparison of what Mormons and Pastor John MacArthur teach. There's no difference on repentance!

Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, also teach the same damnable false repentance as the Mormon cult, Roman Catholics, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses and Church of Christ false religions. The ugly truth is that all of the modern Bible perversions use the same corrupt Alexandrian text as do the heathen Jehovah's Witnesses.

Whenever I have attended a New Evangelical church, my website ministry preceded me, for which they persecuted me (2nd Timothy 3:12). I never mentioned my ministry websites, but I didn't have to because they already knew. When I attended the corrupt Family Baptist Church in Pensacola for 45 months (2021-2025), the church leadership sunned me from the beginning. I said nothing and stayed quite while at church because I needed a church family. Sadly, I meant absolutely nothing to them the whole time, because they rejected me along with my fundamentalist Bible preaching ministry!

I regret in hindsight that I gave them my heart, doing my best as a Fundamentalist born-again Christian to fit in at a corrupt New Evangelical local church, because they counted me as their enemy from the very start. I didn't have to say anything to them to offend them, because my websites were speaking to everyone on social media. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Their carnal pastors' Brad Moffett and his verbally abusive belligerent father Bobby Moffett, took strong offense with my biblical preaching against women wearing pants. That's because both of their carnal worldly wives wear pants in public. I never once said a negative word to any woman in their church who wore pants. Yet, I didn't have to, because due to my preaching on social media they condemned me the entire 45 months that I attended their messed up church (a mere social club and fun center for carnal churchgoers).

I once had a wicked pastor, Sean Quinlan at the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam foolishly tell me, “You're not an apostle!” He got upset when he overheard me tell a Christian man in the church (a friend of mine) that Bob Jones University sells corruptible seed (i.e., the Devil's corrupt Bible revisions). He got upset that I said Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is corrupt for preaching Satan's lie of Lordship Salvation. Pastor Quinlan became angry and said I had no right to speak out against corruption in churches. Oh how wrong he is! Any Christian man who is learned in the inspired Word of God not only has a right, but a duty, to contend for the faith.

In the brief Epistle of Jude, the inspired writer reminds the believers to whom he is writing, that he had previously exhorted them to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3). Jude wasn't addressing apostles, was he. No, he was writing to laymen believers. When the Apostle Paul exhorted Titus to “rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,” please take note that Titus was NOT an apostle. It takes a godly man to expose a wicked pastor who is preaching a perverted plan of salvation, damning men's souls to the Lake of Fire for eternity.

And I am going to go to seed preaching hard without compromise against my own Independent Fundamentalist Baptist denomination, which has tragically become corrupted to the core over the past couple decades. The Satanic falsehood of Lordship Salvation has eerily crept into nearly every Bible college and local church today, perverting them. Case in point is Pensacola Christian College (PCC).

I live in the city of Pensacola. In my mailbox in 2023 I found an envelope from Campus Church with my address and the words “To Our Neighbor” on it. I opened the envelope and inside I found a booklet of 'John & Romans.' The booklet has 64 pages in it. The Campus Church logo is printed on the front cover. I was shocked on page 60 when I read PCC's counterfeit plan of salvation. What I am about to show you is straight from Satan dear reader:

“REPENTANCE — Now is the time to turn from your sin and embrace God. The act of turning away from sin is called 'repentance.' This word implies an inward decision to follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins. It means changing your mind about sin and seeing it as something that grieves God. The Bible says that God patiently waits for all people to make this decision.” [emphasis added]

SOURCE: “John & Romans,” Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College, p. 60

Do you still think I bumped my head? I've been exposing the cult at Bob Jones University (BJU) since 2014, and now I am exposing the cult at Pensacola Christian College. By God's grace, I will continue to expose these wicked organizations for preaching “another gospel” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4).

I feel sick! The cult at PCC are aggressively spreading their damnable heresy throughout Pensacola, mailing spiritual poison to people's mailboxes. With neighbour's like Campus Church at PCC, who needs an enemy like the Devil? PCC has much blood on their hands! Dear friend, nowhere in the inspired King James Bible does it teach that you must repent “of your sin” or “turn from your sin” to get to Heaven. Nor is a willingness to follow and obey God's will instead of your self serving sins a part of God's simple plan of salvation. PCC are Gospel perverts!!! PCC and their Campus Church arrogantly have changed God's simple plan of salvation, perverting Bible repentance to mean, “follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins.” Oh my! That is the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation!!!

Shame on Campus Church and PCC! My accurate Bible preaching against PCC's apostasy will be vindicated (Ecclesiastes 5:8; Galatians 6:7). I wrote this article to help teach people what true Bible repentance is. Dear reader, you cannot be born-again if you place your trust in a counterfeit Gospel. What PCC and their Campus Church are preaching is another gospel, not the free grace of God which is without works.

As I read further in PCC's rotten plan of salvation, just like the pseudo-Christian cults (Mormons, Roman Catholics, Seventh-Day Adventists, et cetera), they speak out of both sides of their mouth—claiming that salvation is free and by grace, yet at the same time requiring you to “follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins.”

To make matters even worse, on page 62 of the “John & Romans” booklet, Campus Church tells the reader that to be saved, you must make a mental check requiring the reader to agree to:

“I repent of my sins. I realize that sin is something that God hates and I no longer want to hold onto sinful bad habits in my life.” [emphasis added]

SOURCE: “John & Romans,” Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College, p. 62

Again, nowhere does the inspired King James Bible require that a lost sinner be willing to “no longer hold onto sinful bad habits in my life” or “repent of my sins” to get to Heaven. That is a works based plan of damnation, not salvation! In Jonah 3:10 the Bible says the Ninevites turned from their evil ways, and God called it WORKS! Jonah 3:10, “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” The Ninevites didn't get saved, they simply repented of their sins so that God changed His mind not to destroy them.

In Jonah 4:11 the Lord tries to calm the angry prophet. Jonah was upset that God changed His mind not to destroy the Assyrians. Like the immature apostles in Luke 9:54-56, Jonah wanted God to reign down fire and brimstone to destroy the city! The Bible says in the last verse of the book of Jonah that God saw “more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand.” The Ninevites humbly responded to the prophet's hard preaching, not to be saved but to clean up their ways, for which God gave them a temporary reprieve from judgment. A century later God sent the prophet Nahum to pronounce doom upon Nineveh, and it came to pass when Babylon invaded and conquered Assyria. No one has ever been born-again by turning from their evil ways! Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Furthermore, the Bible says in the same passage of Scripture that God Himself repented, so repentance cannot mean to turn from sin because God cannot sin (James 1:13-14; Hebrews 4:15). Think about that friend.

In every New Evangelical church I have attended over the years, those ungodly pastors persecuted and eventually kicked me out of their churches, banning me from returning because of my TRUTHFUL biblical stand against them. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Yes, they did wickedly count Paul as their enemy, because he told them THE TRUTH. The fastest way to get kicked out of a church these days is to just TELL THE TRUTH. Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”

I could write a book concerning the differences between Fundamental Baptists and New Evangelicals. Pastor Jack Hyles is right that Fundamentalists don't change, people quit being fundamentalists! I wouldn't give you a penny for a corrupt Neo-Evangelical church today! It is sad and tragic that people are leaving the churches to find God. I'm not kidding! Ninety-nine percent of local churches today are either dying (lukewarm) or dead.

By God's grace, I will NEVER attend a Neo-Evangelical church (cult) again. I'd rather just stay home and watch television. I like to watch an episode of The Outer Limits for a dose of sanity. On page 117 of his helpful book, 'I Never Knew You,' Christian evangelist Michael P. Bowen says he no longer attends any church in his town, because they are all preaching a counterfeit plan of salvation. We are witnessing the fulfillment of Amos' prophecy that God would send a famine of the Word of God in the last days.

Amos 8:11-12, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.”

There can be no ecumenical harmony between Christ-honoring Fundamentalist believers, and ungodly New-Evangelical false prophets who are pulling on the same rope as the Devil (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17). Thank you for reading my ministry blog. Jesus is precious!!!

Service Versus Salvation

Matthew 16:24, “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

Luke 14:27, “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”

Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

I have quoted four passage of inspired Scripture. The first two passages deal with SERVICE, that is, DISCIPLESHIP. The latter two Scripture passages deal with SALVATION, that is, SONSHIP. The former is JUSTIFICATION, the latter is SANCTIFICATION.

Lest we corrupt the inspire Word of God, and lay stumbling blocks in the path of lost sinners, it is imperative that we ALWAYS keep service and salvation completely separate. We must put a clear difference between the salvation of a man's soul, which is secured by faith alone in the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus crucified for our sins, buried and bodily risen the third day; versus deciding to follow Jesus as one of His disciples, which requires sacrifice and works on our part.

Thankfully, we have many godly preachers who have given us some helpful resources to work with. My favorite preacher's quote is from Pilgrim's Progress author, John Bunyan (1628-1688)...

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —Evangelist John Bunyan

Amen and amen! Well said Brother Bunyan.

Another helpful quote that I cherish is from Pastor M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965)...

“There is a vast difference between coming to Jesus for salvation and coming after Jesus for service. Coming to Christ makes one a believer, while coming after Christ makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer one accepts the invitation of the Gospel, to be a disciple one obeys the challenge to a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ; discipleship comes only by sacrifice of self and surrender to His call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation can't be lost because it depends upon God's faithfulness, but discipleship can be lost because it depends upon our faithfulness.” —Pastor M.R. DeHaan, Hebrews; Zondervan Publishing House, 1959 (p. 117)

These men of God clearly understood that vast difference between SALVATION versus SERVICE. Here are some helpful words from Christian author, Hal Lindsey...

“There are those who, in their zeal to get people to turn from their sinful ways and receive the Lord, almost put repentance on a par with believing... Repentance, as it relates to Christ, means to change our minds about Him, who He is and what He's done to provide forgiveness and deliverance from our sins. When we place faith in Jesus as having taken our place personally on the cross and borne the penalty due our sins, then we're automatically repenting, because we couldn't accept Him in this way without having had to change our minds in some way concerning Him.” —Evangelist Hal Lindsey, “The Liberation of Planet Earth”; Zondervan Publishing House, 1974 (pp. 136, 137)

Unfortunately, when incompetent bad preachers (FALSE PROPHETS) mix and confuse DISCIPLESHP with SONSHIP, they pervert the Word of God and make it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to be saved. “THE GOSPEL” is the Good News that Christ died in your place dear reader. And after being buried He miraculously resurrected from the dead three days later. JESUS CHRIST LIVES TODAY!!! Thankfully, we don't have to burn in Hell forever, because a Savior named Jesus DIED in our place on a cross 2,000 years ago. In theology, this substitutionary death of Christ in our place is called a “vicarious” death. He was BURIED and 72 hours later Christ bodily RESURRECTED from the dead. What a wonderful Savior!!!

Here is an edifying quote from Pastor Zane Hodges...

“Eternal life is free. Discipleship is immeasurably hard. The former is attained by faith alone, the latter by a faith that works... the former brings with it the righteousness of God so that a man is 'justified freely by his grace' (Romans 3:24). The latter develops a personal righteousness, based on good deeds, so that a man was also 'justified by works' (James 2:24). The former constituted the believer God's workmanship, the latter fulfilled the wonderful purpose for which he had been created. The former cost man nothing, the latter could cost him everything, including life itself.” —Pastor Zane C. Hodges, “The Hungry Inherit”; Moody Press, 1972 (pp. 114, 115)

Here are more quotes if you'd like to read them.

Many preachers commit the dire mistake of citing Scripture passages from the book of Matthew concerning eternal salvation, but the Gospel of Matthew presents Christ as a King. God did not intend for the books of Matthew, Mark or Luke to show us the way of salvation. God specifically authored the Gospel of John for the purpose of showing the reader how to be saved. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

In the Gospel of John, we find the word “believe” mentioned 85 times, but there is no mention of repenting of your sins, following Christ nor of making Jesus your “Lord” to get to Heaven. In fact, the word “repent” is not even mentioned once! That speaks volumes, teaching us that the man who believes on Christ has automatically repented of his unbelief to be saved. Repentance is simply a change of mind toward God (Acts 20:21), to acknowledge THE TRUTH that one is a needy sinner (2nd Timothy 2:25; Romans 3:19-20).

Evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018) made the grave error of applying the following Scripture passage to salvation, and in so doing he wickedly perverted God's simple plan of salvation. Matthew 16:24, “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Dear reader, the verse I have just shared with you literally sounds like the corrupt plan of salvation that is being taught in 99% of Bible colleges and churches today. Lordship Salvation is NOT the Gospel!

You simply DON'T get saved by following Christ, taking up your cross, denying self and coming after Christ! These things are strictly matters of discipleship (service), and not sonship (salvation). So, don't ever use these passages about discipleship to show someone how to get to Heaven, because you will confuse them and be guilty of perverting God's Word.

The Dangerous Influence Of 'UNSHAKCLED' Radio

John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

Nowhere in the inspired King James Bible will you find any teaching that requires a lost sinner to commit to follow Christ, be willing to turn away from sinning, walk down a church aisle, publicly confess the name of Jesus, nor make full surrender to the Lordship of Christ to get to Heaven. These unbiblical embellishments were inspired by the Devil.

Kindly said, Pacific Garden Mission (PGM) in Chicago should change their radio program's title from “UNSHACKLED” to “SHACKLED,” because that is what they are actually doing, shackling lost people to a counterfeit plan of salvation.

Tragically, if you look at their employees, they're all young yuppie types who are neo-evangelicals caught in Satan's deadly trap of Lordship Salvation. Dear reader, UNSHACKLED radio today is a stinking toilet full of religious dung. I am being honest, not crude. One of the seven things that God hates in Proverbs 6:19 is “a false witness that speaketh lies.” PGM is very wrong on God's simple plan of salvation.

I listened to one of their recent episodes (#3890) titled, “Jilla and Mahmoud - Part 2,” in which you will hear Jilla telling her mother that she knows she is saved because she was bold to express her faith in Jesus publicly. Folks, that is absolutely NOT how you can know for sure that you're saved. Jilla says to her mother (as her Mom is trying to silence her)...

“I am a follower of Jesus and I don't care who knows it. I am not ashamed of Jesus and I do not care who knows it.”

Jilla then says...

“This is the moment I knew that I was born again. I knew it, and because she witnessed me going forward, my mother knew it too.”

Dear reader, this is the nonsensical rubbish that is typical in UNSHACKLED's problematic episodes, which are woefully devoid of a free grace Gospel message. You don't get to Heaven by becoming a follower of Jesus, as the unsaved false teachers in Matthew 7:21-23 learned the hard way, to their eternal horror and damnation in the fires of Hell. So, following Jesus cannot be used as evidence that someone is saved.

Furthermore, Peter was ashamed of Jesus and he was saved. So, not being ashamed of Jesus cannot be used as evidence that someone is saved.

And walking forward in response to a public church invitation is not evidence of salvation. PGM's UNSHACKLED radio programs are lame at best, and damnable heresy at worst. Please be aware of these dangers my friend. I care, which is why I am warning everyone. I have no doubt that PGM's staff are sincere, but what saith the Scripture? Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” No one in the Bible was saved by walking down a church aisle, following Jesus, repenting of their sins or surrendering to the Lordship of Christ.

Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951) said it well...

WHEN THE REVIVALIST comes promising salvation to those "who make a full surrender" of all that they have to God, and who "pay the price of full salvation," he is preaching another gospel, for the price was paid on Calvary's cross and the work that saves is finished. It was Christ Jesus who made the full surrender, when He yielded Himself unto death for us that we might be redeemed from the curse of the broken law and forever saved from the judgment to come upon all who refuse His grace. —Pastor Harry Ironside, 'Another Gospel'

On their website, UNSHACKED wickedly promotes and bids Godspeed to some of the most corrupt preachers of our generation, including false teachers: John MacArthur, Robert Jeffress, Dave and Ann Wilson, James Dobson and David Jeremiah (to name but a few). It is sad and tragic that PGM's new management has succumbed to the demonic false teachers of our generation. All of the aforementioned names are wrong on the Gospel.

For example: Dave and Ann Wilson's lame messages that you must “surrender and repent” is not going to get anybody saved. It is discipleship not sonship. It is service not salvation. We must never confuse the two. Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan said it very well...

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)

Lordship Salvation is the mixing of service with salvation, so that their plan of salvation now requires following Jesus as the “Lord” of your life, full surrender of your will to live for God, and a willingness to turn away from your sinful bad habits. This is all contrary to the free gift of God, which is eternal life through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. Turning from one's sins is an act of human reformation (behavior modification), not biblical repentance (a change of mind). The problem today is that 99% of people follow the false teachers, instead of obeying the dear Savior's command in John 5:39 to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!

My Humble Christian Opinion About Israel, Palestine And The Ongoing Middle East War

Isaiah 1:4-5, “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more?  ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.”

Over the past year I have unfriended dozens of people on Facebook, and some have unfriended me, over Zionism (the creation and idolizing of manmade FAKE Israel). I don't want anyone as a ministry friend who sanctions the genocide of 66,005 innocent PEOPLE in Gaza. God hates what Israel has done, and still continues to do with impunity, slaughtering the innocent under the FALSE pretense of DEFENDING themselves. It sickens me to hear ungodly Facebook racist haters defending Israel's evil. SHAME!

The world is still shocked by the inhumane monstrous human experiments done against over ten thousand Chinese POW's in World War II in Unit 731 Japanese laboratories. Vivisections (dissecting humans alive) were common. No anesthesia was used. People's limbs were frozen in liquid nitrogen and then sawed off while the victim was fully conscious. The horrifying truth of Japan's unimaginable atrocities against humanity didn't become public knowledge until the 1980's, 40 years later! What Israel has done over the past 2 years—torturing and murdering 66,005 innocent people—is just as evil as Japan's atrocities against the Chinese. Just like Japan, Israel has their own twisted justification for murdering the innocent. God will burn Benjamin Netanyahu in Hell for his rejection of Jesus as the Messiah.

Psalms 37:12-17, “The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.”

Israel has an ugly history of aggression against the Palestinian people...

“Years of demonizing and dehumanizing Palestinians, against the backdrop of ethnic cleansing that is central to Israel's founding, cannot be separated from the current genocidal violence in Gaza. One led to the other.” SOURCE: https://dawnmena.org/the-historical-roots-of-israels-genocidal-violence-in-gaza/

If you were forced without compensation by merciless military soldiers from your home, and had to leave all your earthly possessions behind, permanently, so that Jews could take all your stuff and your home, you'd want to get revenge too! In lieu of the tragic atrocities in 1948 and since against the Arab peoples, it is not difficult to understand why some perturbed Arabs decades later still choose to strap explosives to themselves and blow up buses in Israel. I read years ago in 2004 that Israel's authorities were considering putting sealed packages of pig fat under the seats in buses, which Muslims believe will send them to Hell if contacted with the impure lard. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) sympathized with the Palestinian refugees, not Israel.

I fully share Dr. Rice's sentiments. The sad thing is that just like the criminals who ran Japan's Unit 731 torture camps escaped justice, so also will Israel never be brought to justice in this lifetime. Thankfully, there is a holy God who WILL PUNISH EVILDOERS (Ecclesiastes 5:8).

Israel possesses 90 nuclear warhead; the Arab nations have zero. History bears witness that ISRAEL has been far more aggressive and murderous against the Arab peoples, then the other way around. God does NOT stand with Israel and neither should you if you are a Christian. Zionism is racism and it is evil. God loves all humanity.

We ought not idolize manmade FAKE Israel today. It is a clever imitation, a Satanic deception. The Devil imitates the things of God. The true King of kings, Jesus Christ, will return at His Second Coming to defeat the Antichrist and establish His earthly reign for 1,000 years (aka, the Millennium). At present, Satan is preparing the world to receive the coming Man of Sin (Antichrist, or “in place of Christ”), who will rule over his false kingdom (i.e., the New World Order). When the Man of Sin appears, he will go to Jerusalem, not Rome as most theologians mistakenly think. The Man of Sin will claim to be God and demand worship, on penalty of death for those who refuse (2nd Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:13-18).

Christians Not Commanded To 'Watch Jerusalem'

NOT one Scripture teaches for Christians to "KEEP YOUR EYES ON JERUSALEM," as I saw in a stupid meme this past week. Some Zionist idiot made this retarded meme, and it is unbiblical as can be. What saith the Scripture? 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝟮:𝟭𝟯-𝟭𝟰, “𝕃𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕙𝕠𝕡𝕖, 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕘𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥 𝔾𝕠𝕕 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕊𝕒𝕧𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕁𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕤 ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕥;” 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝘇𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.” There you have it! The inspired Word of God exhorts the saints to LOOK FOR JESUS, not the manmade cesspool of iniquity today called "Israel."

Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu is a cold-hearted monster, a lunatic thug, a war criminal, who has so far murdered 66,005 innocent Palestinians. I loathe present-day Israel for their crimes against humanity! Psalms 97:10 commands us as believers to HATE EVIL. Zionism is pure evil. Supporting present-day idolatrous and murderous Israel is EVIL. God's children are commanded in the Bible to LOVE every human on earth, just as our omnipotent Creator loves all mankind (John 3:16). 1st John 4:7-8, “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” As Christians we ought never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. God's love is unconditional (Romans 5:6-9).

Not one verse in the inspired Holy Bible teaches for Christian believers to recognize, help, pray for, nor worship manmade Israel since 1948. Jews are NO MORE special to God than Gentiles are special to God. Every human being is precious to God, for whom Jesus died on a cross 2,000 years ago (John 3:16). Let's stop it with the ungodly racism, for those of you who IDOLIZE Israel and the Jews today. Kindly and humbly said, GET RIGHT WITH GOD! A proper perspective of the Middle East is that BOTH Arabs and Jews alike need salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. I refuse to side with either ethnic group. That being said, in the present Gaza crisis the world cannot sanction the brutal murder of 66,005 Arabs in Palestine under the FALSE pretense of Israel defending themselves. That is absolutely absurd! The poor and needy people of Gaza have not fired a single missile against Israel, 

Anybody who dares to speak out against the evils of Israel and Zionism today is falsely wickedly labeled as "anti-Semite," but we are anti-corruption, not anti-Semite. The slaughter of 66,005 innocent Arabs has nothing to do with being against Jews. It has to do with an ongoing power struggle between the descendants of Jacob versus Ishmael. They absolutely hate each other's guts in the Middle East!

But from my perch where I am observing history unfold, as far as I can discern it is ungodly Israel who are the aggressors 99% of the time. 132 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, doesn't give Israel the right to obliterate 66,005 human lives. Israel has taken revenge against the innocent people of Gaza (most of the dead are defenseless women and children). They are not Hamas. What monsters in Israel!

Israel could be nuked off the map today by Russia or China and it would be 100% biblical. Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” I am sick of Zionism!

We are NOT commanded in the Word of God to seek for times, signs and insights into WHEN Christ may return. Jesus told His disciples in Mark 13:37 to WATCH for His return, nothing else. The inspired Scripture exhorts all saints to look for the Lord's appearance, not Israel.
In 586 BC, God Himself took away the land from Israel and gave it to the Gentiles (Babylon). The land belongs TO GOD, not the Jews! Present-day Israel is manmade, since 1948.

No Jew in 2025 has a "right" to claim the land of Palestine. God has scattered the Jews across the face of the earth. The land is a free-for-all today. Israel STOLE the homes and possessions of over one million Arabs in 1948, using ungodly military power to force them out. Future Israel will only be restored when the Israelites repent toward God, which they haven't done yet (Hosea 3:4-5). A mere 2% of the 7 million Jews living in Israel today profess faith in Jesus Christ (and that includes all the pseudo-Christian cults like Roman Catholicism).

Those foolish believers who look to Jerusalem as a prophetic time clock are playing right into the Zionist's hands, helping to further the demonic New World Order. It is not God's time for the Jews to return to Israel. Only when the Israelites repent toward God and put their trust in Jesus Christ will God regather and restore the true nation of Israel (Hosea 3:4-5). Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) gets it exactly right regarding Israel today.

There is massive propaganda on both sides in the ongoing Middle East conflict. Israel has developed the art of lying as a weapon. We simply cannot believe anything that Israel's leaders tell the world. Nor can we trust the lying American news media.

Although Gaza and Iran have purportedly fired several thousand missiles at Israel since October 7, 2023, very few have actually reached their target due to Israel's anti-missile defense systems. Each missile intercepted costs Israel $40,000 to $50,000. The big difference between Israel and Hamas/Iran is that Israel has unlimited access to munitions since the U.S. is providing welfare for Israel, but Hamas/Iran does not have unlimited access to weapons.

Sadly, both sides vehemently hate each other. It's as the never-ending feud between the Hatfield's and the McCoy's. The modern conflict stems back to 1948 when U.S./British led military forces STOLE the homes of over one million Arabs, giving it all to the Jews. Zionists insist that the land all belongs to Israel and should not be divided. That is, Zionists refuse to recognize the Palestinians as a legitimate state. Israel horribly sees the Palestinian refugees as contemptible dogs. It is the sin of racism! The Palestinian people have every right to exists as a legitimately recognized state with their ow government. Zionism is rooted in evil racism against the Arabs peoples.

The illegal Muslim immigrants flooding into Europe is the same DELIBERATE evil that has afflicted the United States. The Globalists (Luciferian elites) in a further attempt to create a New World Order, must first destroy the old world order. Pastor Jack Hyles preached about this in 1970 in a sermon ahead of its time titled, "Why The Antichrist Must Come Soon." The same powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12) behind illegal immigrants flooding into the United States are at work in Europe as well.

Dr. Hyles gives amazing insights into the world today! I don't like Hamas, which to my understanding is comprised of about 20,000 Arabs. Israel could have still emptied Gaza without murdering everybody in sight! Israel's lying thug military leaders have DELIBERATELY bombed children, hospitals and food distribution sites in Gaza, just because they can with impunity, murdering thousands. Israel wickedly intensely hates the Arabs.

From my humble Christian perspective, Israel are the aggressors because they still refuse to acknowledge the Palestinians as a legitimate state. Just this past week Canada, France, Australia and England announced that they now recognize Palestine as an official state. That demon possessed monster Benjamin Netanyahoo outright rejected the move, saying he won't allow a Palestinian state to exist. Hamas would instantly return the 15 remaining hostages if Israel would simply recognize an official Palestinian state, which is all the Arabs want, to be treated like human beings.

The land belongs to GOD, not Israel. The Lord stripped the land away from the Jews in 586 BC when Babylon (Gentiles) invaded and overthrew Jerusalem, and God made it happen. The inspired Holy Bible is very clear that the manmade nation of Israel today has NO claim nor expectation of divine protection from God. Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

Christians Not Commanded To Pray For Israel

I am sick and tired of hearing wilfully ignorant brainwashed Zionist Christians propagate the foolish unbiblical idea that we must “Pray for Israel.” Well then if that be true, we must also pray for China, and Australia, and Germany, and Japan, and all 195 country's on earth. Please do not succumb to the Zionist racism that elevates Jews above Gentiles, because the inspired Word of God does NOT teach any such nonsense. Romans 10:12 teaches that God is not a respecter of persons, He views Jews and Greeks the same. Galatians 3:28 says that in Christ there is no such thing as a “Jew,” because we are all one in the Body of Christ.

In closing, just to make sure that no one misunderstands me. I love all people, whether Arab or Jew, Muslim or a Judaizer, African American or Japanese. Heaven is color blind. Christ died for all men according to 1st 1:29, 1st John 2:2, 2nd Corinthians 5:15 and 1st Timothy 2:4-6. I am NOT anti-Semite, God forbid. I am anti-corruption, anti-evil and anti-hatred. The Palestinian people just want to be treated fairly, but Israel's leaders continually spew hateful rhetoric, citing reasons why there will never be a Palestinian state. With that kind of bad attitude, the conflict will never end.

Present-Day Israel Not The Fulfillment Of Bible Prophecy

Here is an accurate, biblical, gentlemanly and excellent statement from Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) concerning why present-day Israel is NOT the fulfillment of Bible prophecy...

“Israel is just like any other nation. Some think they're a little brutal, but my friend, they're on the defense over there, you can be sure of that. And they have to exercise a strong defense system. They're not backing that land in fulfillment of prophecy. They have returned to the land, but they have not yet returned to the Lord. When they return to the Lord there will be blessing. They have not yet done that!

...they went out in 70 A.D. And they actually have never returned to the land according to the Word of God. Now hear me very carefully because this is very important to see. They have returned to the land today, and it's remarkable what has happened over there, but it's not the fulfillment of prophecy, because the prophecy says when they return they'll return TO GOD!”

SOURCE: Pastor J. Vernon McGee; THRU-THE-BIBLE; Hosea 2:19-23 and Hosea 3:4

In his “THRU-THE-BIBLE” commentary for Hosea 3:5, Dr. McGee stresses the truth that there are more Arab Christians in Israel today than there are Jewish Christians.

Upon a return trip to visit Israel, Pastor McGee makes the startling comment...

“Over there there's no turning to God, at all!” While visiting he saw a big motto in Israel which read: “SCIENCE WILL BRING PEACE TO THIS LAND.” Israel is a Godless nation today! Dr. McGee cites a credible source as saying that there are less than 300 Israelites that are real believers in Israel today! The Russian Orthodox Catholic Church owns much land in Israel today, as do Greek Orthodox and Muslims. Dr. McGee rightly states, “We're a nation of Biblical ignoramuses! We do not know the Word of God today in this land” —Pastor J. Vernon McGee, 'THRU-THE-BIBLE,' commentary from Hosea 4:1-2

Hosea 3:5 evidences the fact that Israel's present return to the land is not the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy today. When Jesus Christ returns at the Second Coming, and true Israel is returned to the Promised Land, Hosea 3:5 says they will SEEK AND FEAR THE LORD THEIR GOD!

The entire Middle East needs Jesus Christ! That is my final answer.
